Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper old-school floral, a love-it-or-hate-it affair that got axed fast. If you're after 'vintage' without the baggage, it's a quiet gem, but don't expect it to smell 'modern' in the slightest.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Fortnum & Maison Taif Oud - a floral fragrance led by Bergamot, Aldehydes, with citrus depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its strong, warm floral profile and potential for significant sillage, Karenina leans towards evening and formal wear. While some find it 'clean' and appropriate for daytime casual, its intensity and classic character might be overwhelming for an office environment.
Seasons
Best in spring and summer - the floral, citrus profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for casual and daily - the floral accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
